Lynne Hatcher

Lynne Hatcher’s filmography reads like a fever dream from the late-night cult circuit. First, there’s “Hot Wax Zombies on Wheels” (1999), which, let’s be real, is exactly as wild as it sounds. It’s got biker gangs, a cursed beauty salon, and a zombie outbreak that’s less apocalypse and more rock ‘n’ roll chaos. The plot bounces between absurd gore and low-budget camp, never really taking itself too seriously. Hatcher’s performance fits right in—she’s not afraid to lean into the ridiculousness, chewing the scenery with a wink and a nudge to the audience. Honestly, the movie’s a love letter to B-movies, with all the cheesy dialogue and practical effects you could ask for. Fast-forward to “Action 6 News” (2009), and you’re in a whole different world. This time, Hatcher jumps into the local news scene, but don’t expect your average newsroom drama. The film is a satirical jab at media sensationalism, packed with over-the-top anchors and bizarre on-air mishaps. The humor’s sharp, sometimes biting, and Hatcher brings a kind of manic energy to her role, channeling the chaos of live TV. Both films are cult favorites for folks who appreciate a little weirdness with their entertainment, and Hatcher’s got the chops to carry even the most outlandish material. She’s not a household name, maybe, but in the world of offbeat indie flicks, she’s totally unforgettable.
